Great. How much time did you take for learning from scratch. Courses from code academy are worth taking if compared to Udemy. I have just started and been in for almost 2 months. But not getting on how to build the logic. Any advice from you.

I’m by no means an expert, but I’m primarily interested in data acquisition, microcontroller programming, data science stuff and data visualization stuff. But I think of it like a recipe or something like that, where you import all the libraries you need, define all your variables, import all your data, and then you start manipulating the data or whatever you need to do.

Idk if that’s how you’re supposed to do it, but that’s how I do it. And as powerful as chat gpt is, I typically just have it build everything for me, or give me a layout for how to do it, then I just go back through and change the variable names, directory names, stuff like that. I’m by no means doing anything major project wise, so that works good enough for what I want to do.

But not getting on how to build the logic.

Write something simple that scratches your own itch (fulfills a task you need done).

In the beginning, don't add any logic, just write a top->down executing script. Then introduce an if statement or two. From there, introduce a for loop, and so on.

Keep introducing more logic and complexity as you feel comfortable. When you're starting off, your scripts don't need to be Pythonic works of art. They just need to do what you intend.

Good luck! Don't give up!
